This has my vote for being the ugliest stretch of one of downtown's most important streets - a particular travesty given its proximity to the library.

The EasyPark lot at Georgia & Ruchards may be owned by the City. EasyPark is owned by the City. That won't preclude development though, as the L'Hermitage site was previously an EasyPark lot (know know if it was leased or owned by the City).
I think that empty lot where Fido used to be and Budget now parks its cars is probably owned by the same owner as the rest of the buildings up to L'Hermitage. Can't recall who.
Across the alley on the Budget building site not sure who owns it but at the time the former Ford Theatre was built it was contemplated for office tower.
Note that I doubt that the alley on that block can closed off (to consolidate the two Budget sites) since the theatre requires access by large trucks which probably can't negotiate an L-shaped alley (unless you have a massive back alley space like behind The Bay).
